Safety & Security

As the owners and operators of Bass Performance Hall, Performing Arts Fort Worth has security measures in place in an effort to enhance comfort and provide the safest environment possible for our patrons, artists, and organizations that call Bass Hall home.

Arts Amenities, Inc. is the private corporation that leases the premises to provide food and beverage service at the Hall. This lease has been in place since the opening of the facility in 1998.

The Texas Alcoholic Beverage Commission (TABC) makes a determination every two years (upon renewal) as to which signs are required to be posted and Bass Performance Hall is required to adhere to their determination. The TABC’s website shows that a “Red” sign is required at Bass Performance Hall. The “Red” sign is the 51% sign.

Because of the State mandated 51% sign, any Licensed or Unlicensed possession of a Handgun on our premises is a felony.

The mission of the Nancy Lee and Perry R Bass Performance Hall is to serve as a permanent home to major performing arts organizations of Fort Worth and as a premier venue for other attractions so as to enhance the range, quality, and accessibility of cultural fare available to the public; to promulgate arts education; and to contribute to the cultural life of Fort Worth, Tarrant County, and the region.
